Prologue

Hiccup is a 16-years old boy who lives on the island of Berk. He's wearing a green long-sleeved shirt with a brown belt around it; on top of his tunic, he's wearing a brown fur vest. He has brown pants and brown fur boots. His hair is slightly untamed and brown colored. He's got green eyes and a few freckles on his face.

Hiccup was the son of Stoick the Vast, Chief of the Hooligan tribe of Berk. His mother, Valka, was killed in a Dragon Raid when Hiccup was only five years old. He and his father never had a good relationship after the death of his mother. Stoick never cared about Hiccup and only looked at him, disappointed and embarrassed. Stoick had the built like most Vikings on Berk. Big, Tall with beefy arms and a reasonably burly build. Hiccup was not like that. He was always smaller, weaker, and skinnier build. That was just one of the many reasons Hiccup and Stoick didn't get along well.

The only thing Hiccup was above anyone else in his village was he was the smartest. He always worked on inventions to try and help him gain respect among his tribe. Unfortunately, most of his creations failed and destroyed parts of his village or hurt some of the Villagers. That only added more points at being despised by his tribesman.

Then there were the teens, the only five people around his age on Berk. Those consisted of the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston. These two were not the brightest people and loved playing pranks or creating destruction. Most of the time, they helped Snotlout by beating up Hiccup or holding him down for Snotlout to do it. The next one is Sontlout Jorgenson, Hiccup's Cousin, and his most persistent tormenter. He never misses a chance to beat Hiccup up or to call him names. He also came up with the most known nickname for Hiccup, Hiccup the Useless. Then there was Fishlegs Ingerman. He was the tallest and biggest of all teens. He was the second most intelligent person in Berk after Hiccup. He likes to read and ramble random Dragonfacts. He isn't being bullied like Hiccup because he is built like a typical Viking. Then there was the last one, the leader of the teens. Astrid Hofferson. She was the best of the teens in fighting. Snotlout is always flirting with her, which always ends up with an injured Snotlout. She didn't always bully Hiccup but always ignored him except for when she needed her axe sharpened. She took part in the bullying a few times, but only when she almost got injured because of some of his inventions.

Hiccup used to be friends with all of them, but when they saw that Hiccup wasn't like them, they abandoned him and started making fun of him. He had a long crush on Astrid, that vanished when she began participating in the bullying or hitting him. But since his mother died, no one wanted to do anything with Hiccup, and they all started to call him names or treat him like trash or runt (After all, thats what his name meant).

Two people didn't bully Hiccup and always treated him nicely.

The first one was Gobber the Belch, the Blacksmith of Berk. Hiccup was his apprentice since he was six years old; he got thaught how to sharpen, repair and rebalance weapons. When he was nine years old, he got shown how to forge weapons, and since then, he made most of the armory on Berk but never got acknowledged. Gobber always treated him nicely and joked around with him. He knew of the bullying but couldn't do much about it. Gobber was like a father figure for Hiccup.

The second person was Gothi, the village healer. She was the oldest and wisest on Berk. She never talked (no one knows why) and taught Hiccup how to tend to wounds since he almost got "injured" daily. She spoke through scribbling with her staff, and only two people on Berk could read it. They were Hiccup and Gobber.

Hiccup sometimes thought about suicide but never tried since he always thought his father would be proud of him one day.

Hiccup lies in bed and thinks, ´One more miserable day over; maybe tomorrow it will be better.´ He groans as he drags a hand over his face and sighs: " Who am I kidding? It never will be better. One more try, and if that doesn't help, I don't know what will... just one sign from the gods that I am not worthless." With that, he rolled to the side and let sleep take him.

Little did he know that this night would change everything for him, just not how he expected.
